Ability to to delete saved previous versions
I am burning through storage because Box is saving every version of a file I am working on. There is currently no easy way to cut down and delete all previous versions of a file, and going through one by one is time consuming (and after I did, did not seem to decrease the folder size anyways). It would be awesome if there was a way to delete all previous versions of a file and only keep the most recent one.

No (additonal) Box license should be needed for external guests who have their own box domain
Guest access should be useable with all Box subscriptions. No (additional) Box license should be necessary.
Also if guests have their own box domain, no (additional) Box license should be necessary for both parties.

File Request URL Parameters
It would be awesome to be able to pre-populate the metadata fields via URL parameters. This is particularly useful when sending the request to clients and wanting to make it as easy as possible for them to upload their documents. Some other functions along with that which would be nice are.
- Pre-fill metadata (all metadata types) from URL parameters
- Disable metadata field when it is pre-filled by URL
- Hide metadata field when it is pre-filled
Thanks for the consideration.

I would like to have the ability to display folders fixed on Box Drive search.
We are aware that the search function of the Box Drive requires a search to be performed each time.
Since it is time-consuming to search each time, we would like a setting function that allows the desired folder to be displayed (arbitrarily selected) when the Box Drive search screen is launched so that folders can be easily checked.(Japanese)

Enable spell check in Annotation comments
Annotation comment pop up windows do not currently have a spell check function. Comments can be modified under the activity section, but spell check doesn't work there either.

Change Login Without Confirmation
We should be able to use the API/CLI to change a user's login to a new unconfirmed email without requiring their confirmation. This would mirror the behavior available though the Box Admin Console web page.
With the usage of SSO it is critical that the SSO Provider user email address and the Box login address remain the same. It is currently possible to use the API/CLI to add a new alias, have the user confirm it, and set that as the Box login ID. I feel it would be best to avoid the confirmation step.
This way we could automate the user email change process to cover both the SSO account and the Box account.

Transfer Workflow Ownership (not sending it as a template but as a workflow)
Recently the workflow ownership transfer has been released.
https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402945686291-Transferring-Your-Workflow-to-Another-UserHowever, this is to make the template of the workflow that is needed to be transferred.
There is a need to transfer the actual workflow for below reasons:
- the new owner needs to check the past workflow activity but with the template it is not possible
- since it is a template, the new owner still needs to make the workflow
Thank you for your consideration.
40 votesWe definitely want to address this use case (new owner sees past workflow activity) but do not have plans to address it in the near term. We will update when we have a firmer idea of when this can be tackled.

Allow for conditional rules-based retention policy.
Allow for conditional rules-based retention policy.
Example: For a dealer we need to see what the newest document is based on a metadata field. The field is corporate copy date.
If that is greater than 7 years, then delete all documents with that dealer id.
You need to get a list of all dealer id’s and find the newest corporate copy date. If any dealer id's are greater than 7 years, delete all for that dealer. In a nutshell, we need to hold 7 years of data after there has been an interaction with a dealer.2 votes -

File recipient splash page - download link is hard to locate, sign-up link is prominent.
It is confusing to clients that receive files from us in Box, that do not need them to have an account, when the link points to a splash screen that displays a prominent green 'Go To My Account' button in the top right corner. Below the button is the download link, but it is a nondescript grey down arrow without any text indicating that this is how to download. Many clients are confused and we get callbacks about not being able to download or log in. Please change it so the download link is at the top and is labeled Download and has high-visibility color and design. A link offering the option to sign up or log in should be less prominent.

Consistent data size output from folder and file report
Don't shorten, or allow us to choose if we want the file sizes shortened (KB, MB, GB) when calling the Files & Folders report. Full data sizes would allow for much more consistent and streamlined ingestion into data analytics tools like PowerBi.

Accuracy of recognizing flicks and swipes in mobile previews
For example, when previewing an Excel sheet with large rows and columns, the Box mobile app preview may mistake the user's swipe for a flick and terminate the preview.
We feel this happens more frequently than in the native Office mobile app.
Please improve it to detect the difference between a swipe and a flick a little more accurately.1 vote -
External files are displayed in Content Manager
The External Collaboration Report outputs folders and files that are invited from outside as "external folder" and "external file".
The Content Manager only displays external folders, which is not consistent.
Therefore, we would like the external folders to be displayed in the Content Manager as well.2 votes -
Ability for another user to "resolve" and / or reply to a comment or annotation
